Title: [2015-12-11] Wifiportal21 Project Lets You Pay Wifi Minutes With Bitcoin
Post by: jdebunt on December 11, 2015, 02:55:10 PM
In the world of Bitcoin and digital currency, there is no shortage of bright minds and aspiring developers. Andreas M. Antonopoulos is one of the most prominent members of the Bitcoin ecosystem today, and he has a project on GitHub allowing users to pay their Wifi minutes with Bitcoin. What is really interesting is how the project uses the 21 Inc Bitcoin Computer as the authentication server for any OpenWRT router running Wifiportal21.

This is exactly what I thought 21 would be developing. The future of stuff like this is almost limitless. Here we see a way to pay a machine for service with no salesperson required. The next iteration will be machines paying other machines for service, something no one has been able to reliably do using traditional money. I think this is big news.
